  • Idealized current single-channel records were fitted to Scheme 1 as described in Figure 8. All rates have units of s−1. Data are mean ± SEM from six patches, each containing one active channel with a total of 11,275 and 16,662 open periods and 11,272 and 16,657 closed periods for glycine and DCS, respectively. The rates were compared by paired t test. *p < 0.05. MOT, mean open time.
